Catalogue Note

"The squiggles tend to hover because they're cut free from gravity. They're too busy squiggling to submit to gravity. Coming to that surface activity, wanting that specifically and looking for it or stumbling upon it...like lifting up rocks to see if there's anything under there." - Richard Artschwager
